Saw this poll on the official Whitesox website, and wondered what people here thought. The overwhelming majority in that one chose Paulie. I chose Frank. I realize that we could sign both, or neither, so this thread is basically just to gauge where people stand if we could for whatever reason only re-sign one of them. I guess I chose Frank for sentimental, not baseball or practical, reasons. Healthy or not, I want him to retire here.

I also saw this poll right next to yours in the Sox Clubhouse.:rolleyes:

Sorry, dude. Is the eye rolling necessary when it was an honest mistake?

It's cool. I got busy at work at didn't bother to check if someone beat me to it. Now, if a mod would delete this so I can end this embarassing chapter in my personal WSI history, I would greatly appreciate it.:smile:

Okay. But this gave me a good idea for another thread. Check out the parking lot.

I said it before (in an identical thread (http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=61863)) and I'll say it again. It is Frank, hands down. Konerko can be replaced. No one can replace Frank Thomas.

At least the title of his thread is Frank OR Paulie, not Frank OF Paulie.:D:

Not sure who Frand is. Perhaps that was a Frandian Slip. hehehe

It has recently become trendy to refer to people in the context of their father, so if your dad was named Robert, you would be called "Mike of Robert". Maybe that is where shoelessjoe90 was going?

It's tough, but I have to say Frank. Paulie will be around longer, but I couldn't stand to see Frank play anywhere else.

Not sure who Frand is.

She has a hideously annoying laugh and had her own sitcom called "The Nanny".

Frank is my favorite White Sox player. Has been since 90', and he will always be da man. However, PK gives the White Sox a better shot of winning another trophy in the 'Ozzie era', so you've got to go with him.

That said I truly hope that Frank stays and retires with the White Sox. He is the face of this franchise...

As much as I like Konerko, just seeing Frank leave would leave me heartbroken.
